Hi all, I'm facing some performances issues between Unraid and VMs. I've the following setup: HW : HP MicroServer Gen8 CPU : Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1265L V2 @ 2.50GHz Memory: 16 GiB DDR3 Single-bit ECC OS: Unraid 6.12.6 (Linux 6.1.64-Unraid x86_64) eth0: ASUS XG-C100C (AQC113CS NBase-T/IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet Controller [AQtion]) - 10Gbit/s etho in br0 (no bonding) VLANs: 1, 10 VM Machine: Q35-7.2 8 logical CPUs assigned Memory: 4 GB OS: Pfsense [2.7.2-RELEASE] eth0: Virtio: br0.10 - WAN eth1: Virtio: br0 - LAN For the test scenario I 've one VM only and turned off Docker engine. Some iperf3 results PC to Unraid: 6.55 Gbits/sec Unraid to Unraid: 28.0 Gbits/sec Unraid to VM: 831 Mbits/sec PC to VM: 1.33 Gbits/sec While I can explain the 6 Gbits/s between PC and Unraid (because cable quality), I cannot explain the results for the internal networking between Unraid (host) and the running VM. I've read that ideally for pfsense it's better a passthrough NIC, but I cannot add more 10 Gbps interfaces on this HW so I'm forced to share between VMs and Docker with br0. I already tried the switch between virtio to virtio-net, tried to disable TSO and GSO, but without improvements. Any suggestion is really appreciated. Thanks, Andrea

I've a quite similar setup and facing similar performances. Did you find a solution ?
